INTRO: Bm
C G D Em
I never had a friend as close as you
C G D Em
So close to my heart
C G D Em
I dropped everything when you came through
C G D Dsus4
So close to my heart
Bb D A Bm
And I put my pens and my paint box aside
G D A Dsus4
Ohh, so close to my heart
Bb D A
And the river that ran down the rock face, dried
Bm G D A Bm
Ohh, so close to my heart
G D A Bm C G D Bm
When you were close to my heart___
C G D Em
It was an honour that you ran so free
C G D Em
So close to my heart
C G D Em
I thought I'd lost something forever, silly me
C G D Dsus4
So close to my heart
Bb D A Bm
But the place you hid in, as bare as it seems
G D A Dsus4
Ohh, so close to my heart
Bb D A
It held my will in its infinite dreams
Bm G D A Bm
Ohh, so close to my heart
G D A Bm C G D Bm C G D Bm
When you were close to my heart___
C G D Em
So now you're gone and now we'll both find our ways
C G D Em
So close to our hearts
C G D Em
By the forge that leaves a stamp on each day
C G D Dsus4
So close to our hearts
Bb D A Bm
And we'll long to make great things in our lives
G D A Dsus4
Ohh, so close to our hearts
Bb D A
And we'll wonder if what we make survives
Bm G D A Bm
Ohh, to the beat of the heart
G D A C
It's the work of the heart
G D A
